Our Story

The art of illusion

YN Pâtisserie began with one question: what if a dessert could make you look twice?

Trompe l’oeil means “deceive the eye”. It’s a French tradition of painting so real it fools the viewer, and we bring it to pâtisserie. Every creation starts as a real fruit, nut or pod that we study, mould and recreate in mousse, crémeux and sponge.

We cast, glaze, colour and finish every piece by hand in our Manchester kitchen. Small batches, made fresh for the day they’re delivered.

Sculpted

Moulds shaped from real produce, so every ridge and dimple is true to life.

Layered

A mousse, an insert and a base in every piece. The inside matters as much as the outside.

Hand-finished

Coloured, dusted and polished by hand, one pastry at a time.
